> LONDON BOROUGH OF CULTURE. Well done Wandsworth for winning the 2025 bid - without doubt, London's most dedicated borough for creativity & culture.
But proud to have contributed to the Haringey bid - Borough of culture for 2027. The "Rebel Borough!" (Yet to work that slogan out.)
The social impact work we have done through London Community Arts CIC has been a valuable contribution (it also tipped that balance and got Crouch End voted as the 'Best Place to Live in London').
The Crouch End Festival (one of London's biggest community arts festivals), Crouch End Literary Festival, running accessible venues like The Intimate Space, live music clubs like üF-Beat and topical events around Easter, Halloween and Christmas have all been part of our borough bid. Not to mention work in schools.
LCA's ethos has always been to make things free to make it accessible to all. And to be 100% inclusive.
To cultivate creativity. Embrace culture. Engage communities.
Be open to all performers, without judgement.
To build confidence and provide a safe, non-judgemental platform to perform.
Never to pander to socio-political agendas or pressure, and avoid tick-box-tokenism.
To cultivate grassroots activities across the whole area.
There are lots of people who talk a good story about 'community engagement' and 'social impact strategy' but how many have real hands-on experience?
SOCIAL IMPACT STRATEGY - ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW IN 60 MINUTES
I am delivering a powerful, informative and fascinating 60-minute talk to companies on Social Impact. It tells you all you need to know in 60 minutes. It will open your eyes and give you a new lens to see things through. Based on real experience.
Nobody does anything like this. As social impact campaigns are a growing trend, isn't it better to know what resonates with consumers, communities and creates a positive impact upon society?
Or you could just blag it?
Get it wrong and the damage to the brand can take years to fix.
